Summary
Health Net is implementing CMS Interoperability Rules requiring providers to prevent information blocking, maintain current digital contact information in NPPES, and ensure hospitals send electronic ADT notifications. This focuses on enabling patient access to their health information through third-party apps and improving care coordination.
Action Required
IT team must update NPPES records with current digital contact information and work with EHR vendors to ensure NPI information stays current. Implement policies to prevent information-blocking practices that interfere with electronic health information access. Hospitals must configure systems to send electronic notifications for patient admissions, discharges, and transfers to primary care providers.
